LH End of the Year Awards
See last year's winners here!
Welcome to the Log Horizon RP's Second Annual End of the Year awards. As we've been up for almost two years now, we've seen lots of people come and go, lots of fun experiences happen. It's time for you to think and give a shout out to everything and everyone that's meant something to you on the site.
We'll open up with a round of nominations where you can nominate anyone for a category (yes, even yourself but be modest here). You may either nominate in this thread or you can send me a PM if you want your entries to be private. After about a week of nominations, we'll have a week of voting. Nominating the same people that someone else nominated probably won't really do anything, it's the votes that count. This will likely be done on the same third-party survey site used for the previous year's awards. Once voting is over, it should take us a little time to get the votes in and announce the results.
For you guys who have a 'what's in it for me' personality, we'll offer an exclusive item prize for whoever sends in at least 10 (unique) nominations and whoever votes in the end. If you win... good job! We have too many categories and some of them too specialized to really award things for winning though. With that said, let's announce the categories!
Submit nominations to this thread by December 20th.
Voting will take place between December 21th and December 31th.
Some entries may be changed or removed based on how nominations for the category end up:
1. #30-RP is now changed to Best Bestiary Entry.
